I pulled the engine to complete the hell hole repair so figured I'd put in a new clutch. Glad I did, clutch disc soaked in oil or transmission fluid, take your pick. Also found the exhaust manifolds nuts hand tight on a couple of the studs and the thermostat cable off of the roller so that basically did not work.
Anyway.... I purchased the new seals - rear main and transmission shaft output but can't find any images or instructions on how to replace them? Usually this is straight forward but there seams to be some sort of recess in the RMS of the engine? Any diagrams or instructions would be appreciated. Also, the clutch had a lot of material left on it, almost as thick as the replacement disc so I think the clutch was recent but they never bothered to replace seals so it's shot. The flywheel looks smooth and unmarred. Do I still need to resurface? Thanks! -John |

I thought it would be a good time to show what the factory transmission front seal looked like. As you can see it is NOTHING like the replacement seal that is being sold. VW part 113.311.113B
